So there’s been some unexpected good news. Hubs got that promotion after all. It was a position that had really been open for like 2 years, and his boss just realized that he could have given the job to him all along. SMH. It’s a significant raise that will definitely help us out in the coming months.

We also found out some other news-- we’re having a girl! I knew it! I’m excited to know ahead of time (well, and have other people know ahead of time as well). We haven’t officially announced the pregnancy on social media yet. Hubs wants to do a TMNT themed announcement. I gotta figure that out somehow.

My first term in school ended and I finished with an A! I’m hoping to keep that momentum going for the next term. Then a little break for baby. Time to figure out a name for this little one too. Hmmmm

14 hours!

Our anatomy scan is in 14 hours! Can’t wait to surprise hubby and find out the sex! I’m honestly hoping for another girl because we have the perfect name picked out for a girl and nothing chosen yet for a boy. Most importantly, I want to make sure everything is okay with baby and me, though! Can’t wait to see our little baby on the screen <3

Anatomy scan - check!

May or may not have started hormonally crying a little in the waiting room when I saw a husband and wife looking at their printed out ultrasound pictures together, but otherwise I managed relatively ok without my husband being able to be there.

B”H KA”H the MFM said that everything on the scan looks “terrific” and baby is “not big and not small” despite the GD. She barely looked at my blood sugar  logs other than to see that all my numbers were all in range and said that everything looks great with that (I assume she would’ve looked more closely at my foods if my numbers were off).

I'm apparently at the halfway marker. 4.5 more months to go Until I get to meet the little cephalopod.

I’ve had this problem for probably the last two months or so, but it’s been getting worse as I get farther along.

Any time I walk for more than 10 minutes or so, I get a really sharp pain in my pelvic area and lower stomach. It feels almost like painful stretching in my stomach, and just like a throbbing pain in my pelvic area. Once it starts hurting, it takes a long time to let up. Yesterday I walked quite a bit and by the end of the day I could hardly walk because of the pain. I’m still in a bit of pain today from yesterday. Today I walked around the store and after only a few minutes of walking it was throbbing again and now I’m laying on the couch hardly able to move because even just a small movement hurts. Driving even hurts because when I switch pedals I lift my leg and it hurts me.

My next prenatal appointment is Tuesday, so I’m definitely planning to talk to my doctor about this, but I’m wondering if any other mommas have experienced this? I had a few people warn me about SPD and I’m really just trying to convince myself that I’m not going crazy. It totally doesn’t seem normal to me to have this kind of pain just from walking. 😭

How does anyone deal with this?!!

I just hate how my MIL thinks it's okay for her to say things like "the baby will be sleeping in my room with me" or "I have to take him for a good 6 months so I can teach you guys how to do things and then I'll return him to you." It just makes me so angry because 1. He's MY son, you are JUST the grandma!! Like OK I get it we live under your roof but that doesn't give you any right! And yes I know we should be living on our own now but before I got pregnant or even found out I was pregnant we were already going to move out. We had gone to tour the apartment and we even filed out the application. All we needed was the down payment and we were all set to move in. But then the unthinkable happened and my husband got fired so I was stuck working and paying for the bills on my own which let me just tell you I do not get paid enough to pay the bills on my own. So everything we saved went straight to the bills. And then another unthinkable happened. I was also pregnant. Making me loose hours at work. So yeah you know life happened. But I can now happily say we're are all caught up on bills and we have started to save again. And my husband has 2 jobs now. Which helps us out tremendously. So we are finally back to saving up again to move out. But anyways the point here is, how the hell do I get my MIL to shut up!!!! I get that I'm young but I'm not stupid. And it also doesn't mean that I'm completely incapable of taking care of my son. Also we been telling her that none of that is going to happen and she just ends up throwing a fit and gets angry that we say no to her!! 😧😡😬
